One of my favorite roses from the summer. Nice salmon color. Nice rounded taste. Prefer the bolder red grape roses. This paired really well with arugula/peach salad and pork chop. — 10 years ago
Botte 47. Phenomenally complex and constantly evolving. Initially savory with some animal fur, toasty honey (aged semillon) notes, slight star fruit. Then it evolved into dried flowers, mushroom, and dark fruit - reminded me of a young Barolo. Then black tea, green tea. Then strong dried spearmint, honeyed toasty complexity like the '81 Lopez de Heredia. Medium bodied with slightly elevated sparkling acidity. Not intense, but persistent on the palate. To borrow a phrase from Veronelli- It burrowed into my memory. I hope it made me forever better. — 10 years ago

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 10 years ago

The winery’s entry level Sangiovese bottling. Aged 15 months in second-use French oak for 2020 vintage, it delivers a darker-fruited profile while preserving Sangiovese’s classic character. A versatile, crowd-pleasing choice and pairs especially well Northern Italian pasta dishes. — 10 months ago
Not too many Sangiovese roses in my life. This is good. As it warms it gets much more earthy and vegetal. A lot of red watermelon, but overall savory. Pretty great with bbq. I’m guessing not so great with lighter fare or to crush over an afternoon. — a year ago
Classic Napa cab. Constrained fruit, mellow tannins, good structure. Beautiful cassis notes. This bottle was a gift. After looking up the prices I was pretty shocked. Totally not worth North of $150. — a year ago
Light and spicy with some savory, earthy notes — 7 years ago
Good for red sauce Italian and pizza. Cherry. Medium bodied. — 7 years ago
Тальк, сочная вишня, брусника, красная смородина, легкие животные тона, пот, марганцовка, каперсы, сухая земля. Среднее тело с элегантной, естественной органолептикой, живой кислотностью и тонкими, аккуратными танинами. Уже вполне открыто, в хорошей форме. Легко и изящно в движениях, без большой комплексности, но с отличной фактурой и внутренней гармонией. — 8 years ago
I like it! — 10 years ago

2014 is a notoriously difficult vintage in Tuscany, but this showcases the finesses achievable in a challenging season.
The nose shows fresh cherry, red currant, pinecone, violet, and touch of leather and baking spices. Medium-to-full body on the leaner side, the plate is marked by vibrant acidity and refined silky tannins. Hint of sweetness on the long finish.
